Ceramic Form & Content
With Itsue Ito, internationally known ceramic artist from Japan, as your
guide, explore the influence of the material properties of clay on form.
Examine the effects of various surface treatments and finishes. Evaluate the
relationship between hard-edged geometric versus spontaneous organic
approaches to form, seperately and in combination. And develop an awareness
of the relationship between form and content as they pertain to ceramic
objects. In addition to demonstrating valuable skills and techniques,
visiting artist Ito will have extensive one-on-one discussions with
students.
